La Sposa Distancia Wedding Dress in Ivory.
Size 14.
An absolutely timeless dress in soft satin. A strapless bodice with delicate beading under the bust line. Stunningly elegant pleating through the bodice wrapping over the hips in a great slimming feature. Zip up back with button closure. Garment bag included.
I'm selling this dress as I ended up purchasing another style dress. I purchased this dress for $2600.00
It has always been kept in the garment bag in a warm, dry, smoke free home.
Please feel free to call or text me for more information.
